Hello, Deb. I was wondering if I could get a copy of the text I wrote from my article which was deleted. I hope you can post it on my talk page or somewhere where it is most convenient. Thanks, Olendory (talk) 14:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)OlendoryOlendory (talk) 14:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb... Are you able to help get the page up ? The author for whom the page was published has written more than 60 books and one of his essays is being used in Harvard as course material.

Thanks, Deb, for bringing my attention to Wikipedia's policies. My opera will be performed in 2021 (delayed because of coronavirus), so I guess it might be possible to cite the work in articles from that point onwards? Alexander Voltz (talk) 13:32, 19 May 2020.

Also when you said "Last good version" I think it's not a good excuse for you to remove info like that. Matt Campbell (talk) 23:54, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Removing things and moving them to a more appropriate place are not the same thing. Deb (talk) 06:22, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware, but what's your excuse for removing some of them? Matt Campbell (talk) 15:40, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't need an excuse because I have just given you a reason - they have been moved to a more appropriate place where they were previously missing. Deb (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Well you made a mistake with some not all of them though. Matt Campbell (talk) 15:53, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Also I forgot to ask. Why does it matter anyway? Matt Campbell (talk) 18:29, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

You didn't forget, you did ask, and I answered. Deb (talk) 20:47, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

ANI

I just wrote a long response explaining my choice of ANI was due to general inexperience with conflict resolution here. Unfortunately, mobile editing is cruel, and I accidentally refreshed the page by scrolling up too far in Chrome. 0 “you’re about to lose saved changes” warnings. How annoying.

tl;dr of my lost message: I don’t know any admins, TeaHouse feels like it’s for pure newbies, but maybe it would have been best. I really didn’t know where else to go. Thanks for your response.

Deletion

Hi Deb...

1. I am not affiliated with AIROAV.

2. User:Danielcohens (my page) here on Wikipedia has a link to my profile in the Google Hall Of Fame with my picture and a long history of security credentials and contribution. So my publication on AiroAV is not about PR, rather SECURITY.

Please note, I am a professional security consultant and am on Google, AT&T, Adobe, Apple, and Microsoft's official website's with my name and picture (Daniel Cohen, Speed-net.com) for knowledge in security and contribution. My name coincides with my own username here on Wikipedia. So that is my "affiliation" to security and purpose for creating the page. But to be clear, my company Speed-net.com is not affiliated to AiroAV or any of their businesses and you can do a simple Google search for "Daniel Cohen Speed-net.com" and find the necessary references and authority qualifications for my contribution to protecting online user activity.

Now to address AiroAV. It's an Anti Virus company. Everything I stated is clear fact and referenced. Wikipedia is a historical fact site. According to the Register.co.uk and another tier 1 media source FossBytes, earlier last month AiroAV identified a dangerous malware variant spread via the Adobe Flash Plugin that undermines the security of Mac users by re-writing Google and Bing search results and turning computers into a proxy that can be used for malicious activity. This is HISTORICAL FACT and in the future, reference on Wikipedia can prove invaluable for security researchers to follow up on.

Finally, I was in Prague at Hackathon last month hanging out with Brian (the head of Wikipedia Security). So please don't suspect me for exterior PR agendas, and in the name of community contribution, please do not support erasing the page or references that identify malware putting millions of MACOS users at risk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielcohens (talk • contribs) 21:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, @Danielcohens:. I'm not sure why you chose to place your message in the middle of all the others, so I nearly missed it, but that's not an issue. I didn't delete your article because I was not convinced it was advertising and I wanted to ensure that you were aware of the COI policy and had the chance to declare any interest if you did have any. (In view of your work, it was possible you might have had.) However, I don't control other administrators' actions and apparently at least two others felt that it was promotionally worded.

Continental Express, Inc. Deletion

Deb,

I have noticed you deleted my article Draft:Continental Express Inc for promotion, and not writing in a neutral perspective. As I have noted before with DRM310 Undisclosed paid editing: Continental Express, Inc. and with official contested deletion 'I have read over my article Draft:Continental Express Inc numerous times to check for wording in which would make it seem 'Unambiguous advertising or promotion'. As I have noted in my discussion with DRM310 Undisclosed paid editing: Continental Express, Inc. on her talk page, I have never been paid, I am not being paid, nor will i ever be paid to produce, or make edits to the article Draft:Continental Express Inc. If you are saying that my article I have written is promotional, I could argue that any article on wikipedia is promotional as it is a public encyclopedia pertaining information for other people to read. The nature of my article is not in any which way promoting Continental Express, Inc. as an entity or for business sorts. I have only created the article as an informative page for people learn facts about the company and the founder itself in a non-promotional way. If you have any SPECIFIC examples of wording as to how my article Draft:Continental Express Inc is promoting the company itself or promoting anything in any which way, please cite the exact wording and I will do my best to comply with your discrepancies. Otherwise, please lift my speedy deletion on my article so it may be published.' Please explain SPECIFIC examples to me how my article is promoting or not neutral in any which way. If my article is promoting, then how isn't CR England, Werner Enterprises, and Knight-Swift. If you can cite SPECIFIC examples how my article is different then theirs then I will gladly comply to your requests. Otherwise please have my article reinstated.

thank you

Adverbial clauses

Hi. I'm not quite sure why you have objected to my edit. You have also said that an adverbial clause of purpose is not a clause. Would you like to discuss? It is what's known as an essential clause, as it's the purpose of the verb. Specifically, it's an essential adverbial clause of purpose and is therefore not preceded by a comma. Could I ask why you think what you do? NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:28, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

You should have discussed after being reverted and I explained my reasoning. It's a pretty simple one, this. https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2guides/guides/wrtps/index-eng.html?lang=eng&lettr=indx_catlog_c&page=9NAz60BVJKd8.html#tphp NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

The example you've given doesn't cover the situation under discussion. "For the second Test" isn't an adverbial clause. Deb (talk) 18:39, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes it is. If you'd like me to simplify it for you, you could rephrase it as 'in order to play in the second test', which in this instance is what 'for the second test' means. Do you have any actual reason why you're saying what you are? Simply stating something demonstrably incorrect isn't the best argument.NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I've already explained to you what parenthetical commas are for. But even if "in order to play in the second test" is understood, the word "Leeds" is not part of that clause and therefore should continue to be separated from it by a comma. Deb (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I have explained it to you. Leeds.NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

In what way do you imagine that "Leeds" is part of the "clause"? Deb (talk) 18:52, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Leeds is part of the main clause. The non essential information in the main clause is Headingley. They went to Leeds to play cricket. They went to Leeds to watch a film. Not they went to Leeds, to watch a film. NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:10, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

If that were true, the sentence would need to read "They went to, Headingley, Leeds to play cricket." I think you should be able to see what's wrong with that. Deb (talk) 19:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

What's wrong with that is the comma after to. The rest is correct.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

No, it's not, because "Leeds" is parenthetical; it's not part of "to play cricket". Do you understand? Deb (talk) 19:15, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I have provided a very clear link to explain this. Leeds is part of the main clause. The main clause is not separated from the adverbial clause as the adverbial clause is essential in order to understand the purpose of the main clause. Headingley is separated from Leeds by a comma as it's not essential in order to understand going to Leeds. Leeds is not 'parenthetical', Headingley is. They went to Leeds for the second test. If you would like to provide a source, as I have, that supports your case, I'd be happy to read it. I have been teaching EFL for 11 years. You haven't been able to identify an adverbial clause. I'll need some pretty compelling evidence.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:22, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

No, Headingley is not parenthetical. It's fairly obvious that you don't understand the concept of parentheses. They went to Headingley for the second Test. The word "Leeds" is only there to ensure that people understand where Headingley is. There are a few ways you could re-phrase it, for example:

1. After this incident Atherton and England headed to Headingley for the second Test.
2. After this incident Atherton and England headed to Leeds for the second Test.
3. After this incident Atherton and England headed to Headingley, in Leeds, for the second Test.
4. After this incident Atherton and England headed to Headingley, Leeds, for the second Test.

The one version that is definitely not correct is: "After this incident Atherton and England headed to Headingley, Leeds for the second Test", because that makes the word "Leeds" into part of the second phrase/clause, which it clearly isn't. Read the rules on adverbial clauses again; there is absolutely nothing to suggest that your version of the sentence is correct. Deb (talk) 19:31, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

No it doesn't. Remove Headingley. Remove the comma after it. Ignore it. That's what you're missing.

This is from the link.

When placed at the end of the independent clause, an adverb clause may or may not require a comma, depending on whether it is essential to the meaning of the sentence.

Essential clauses provide essential information and are not set off with commas.

The package came after you had left. [identifies the time of delivery] The police will press charges if the witness’s statement is true. [stipulates the condition governing the action in the main clause] Note that clauses introduced by until and the conjunctions of comparison than and as … as are normally essential:

They took shelter in the cave until the storm ended. Jorge is taller than Greg (is). No one can play that sonata as well as Marsha (does). Non-essential clauses provide additional, non-essential information and need commas:

The package came at 8:30, after you had left. [The phrase at 8:30 identifies the time of delivery; the clause is just additional information.] The passenger apparently arrived late, if the witness’s statement is true. [The adverb clause if the witness’s statement is true has no bearing on the passenger’s arrival time; it is just an added comment that is not essential.] Note that clauses beginning with although, even though, though and whereas are normally non-essential:

Lisa won the prize, even though (although, though) the competition was stiff. Cara wanted to paint the room blue, whereas Paul preferred green.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

You're completely off the point on this one. If you want to remove the word "Headingley" and then either leave out the commas or just put one after Headingley, that would be grammatical, but it would be missing out important information, i.e. the ground where they are going to be playing in Leeds. But if you keep in the words "Headingley" and "Leeds", you have to enclose "Leeds" between commas, because it's parenthetical - it's not essential to the sentence. "An adverb clause may or may not require a comma", out of context, doesn't help. None of the examples you've copied out above cover parenthetical commas, nor do any of them explain why you think there shouldn't be a comma after the word "Leeds". Parroting sentences you've read in a book isn't, unfortunately, a guarantee that you have understood their meaning. (See what I did there...) Deb (talk) 19:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

The example explicitly refers to commas. I have changed the text to a version with which we will both be happy.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

If you really need an example, look at this, particularly the second, third and fourth paragraphs: https://archives.cjr.org/language_corner/where_have_all_the_commas_gone.php Deb (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

In-line citations on October 12

I just tried to add back in some birthdays from October 12, only for you to revert the edit, telling me "the guidelines say there must be in-line citations and there aren't". Which guidelines do you mean? Also, do you mean on the page October 12? Because almost none of the people there have citations on that page, and as I said, all the ones I added back have citations on their own pages for their birthdays. And why remove just those specific ones? Why not, say, Iris Apatow, whose page contains no source for her birthday? JorWat (talk) 22:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Also, most of those people were added (by me, actually...) to the page last year. Why are they now being affected by the new rules about citations? And why was James Graham fine? JorWat (talk) 22:26, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Definitely worthy of deletion

Hi Deb,

I have to admit that I didn't read the guidelines and can completely understand why the page I created was deleted. However, I'm wondering if I might be able to get a copy of the text I posted. I understand if that's not possible/allowed but thought I'd ask.

I never intended to make it public but I somehow stumbled through creating the page and bumbled my way into submitting it for review. I mainly wanted to get a screen shot of the page as a gag to be used for someone's upcoming surprise party. But I understand the need to avoid publishing false information, especially when it paints someone in a bad light.

There was/is no ill will toward the subject of this page but I also understand more clearly now that Wikipedia is not the right platform for this type of nonsense.

Semifinal

No hyphen. Did you bother to look at how semifinal is spelled in all other instances in the article, or any of the previous years' articles, in prose or tables? Or any of the tennis tournaments, for that matter? Clearly not. And did you bother to look at all the previous years' articles for Wimbledon to see the lead layout? Clearly not. 173.91.60.85 (talk) 18:25, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Read the guidelines on lead paragraphs and stop spouting nonsense. You are very obviously a sock, and logging out doesn't mean that no one will notice. Deb (talk) 18:29, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

I'll take that as a no; that you didn't bother to look at the correct spelling of the word. Nor did you even look at prior year articles for the tournament. Ah, a sock or sockpuppet... someone who uses more than one account to edit. So now we're in attack and accusation mode, in addition to your prior threatening mode. Is that what you do, attack people from all angles when they simply disagree with your edits. I suggest if you have proof that I'm doing something improper that you report it to whatever authorities can look into that matter. Otherwise, you can probably get into trouble for making such a serious allegation without any proof to back it up. I mean, "very obviously" is the strongest conviction one can have. Are you always this defensive and angry over someone changing an edit of yours? 173.91.60.85 (talk) 18:44, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

"correct spelling" - as in the US, you mean? Check out how Wimbledon spells the word: [1]. Deb (talk) 12:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

"correct spelling" - as in all tennis tournament articles on Wikipedia, I mean. But you never even looked to find out the Wikipedia protocol on the spelling of this particular word, which has alternate spellings. It would've taken seconds to find out. And common sense would tell any editor that the spelling of a word with alternate spellings should be consistent throughout an article. You failed to check that, also, in this particular article. 173.91.60.85 (talk) 15:09, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for accepting some bad pending edits on days of the year articles.

Hi, can I ask why you chose to decline the speedy and draftify that article?

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:DealerRater

Hi Deb, Thank you for taking the time to review my article "DealerRater." It seems it was deleted due to advertising-like material. I believe the page was written in an unbiased and objective point of view. As a newspaper writer and journalist, I was trained to write about subjects without taking sides. Be that as it may, I would be happy to edit down the article however you see fit and remove any "advertising" language. Sadly, I am unsure what parts of the article you were referring to. This was my first article, but before I publish anything else, I'd like to ensure I am doing all correct. I read the rules and regs and really thought I followed all.

BitcoinZ page deleted?

Hello, please explain why you deleted this page? Please explain me where you see “Unambiguous advertising or promotion” this page is only info page about btcz. Lest me explain

You said “We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia”, but is’s community coin, everyone can do their contribution. I am a volunteer, and i decided to write wiki page about project.

“avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles“ it’s not my organization, btcz exist without any leaders. Many project include to their wiki article official web link. A There only 2 official links 1-web site and block explorer, 1 link github source code, and another 2 links i added, cause some wiki editor mention to me that i have to add wp:sigcov and wp:independent and i include 2 links which i found. Btcz small project and no review on new york times etc.. Again, i’m valunteer who decided to made page. I tried to made page which only consist true information without any coin prices and any attractions. Only main occurred changes like algo change... I’m newbie on wiki, I understanding that i can make mistakes, but this page which you’ve delete it’s info page and not more. Any Links is not necessary there.

I’m discussed about that article with community members before move it from draft to main, as i understood you cannot justify your decision except referring to you personal understanding. Yes i’m not native speaker, but another community members can fix my mistakes. About external links i told you. You can easily delete links, why all article?

If violation of rules is only links please restore BitcoinZ article and i will clean all links except github link. Thanks

Deb, understood Thanks

Music By Women Festival

Deb, could you please restore this and move it to draft for improvement. (I know I can do it myself, but I like to ask). It seems likely to be notable , and the promotionalism seems removable. DGG ( talk ) 06:17, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Chairing of the Bard

Thanks for putting the place names into English - I think that's more appropriate on the English site. I've done some that you missed. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 23:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Mohamad Barakat

You moved this article to draft after a single purpose account destroyed it for the umpteenth time.[2] Please restore the previous version that is well sourced, correct, and has been edited by numerous editors during more than a year without complaints.[3] If you have issues with that version, please specify them. Omikroergosum (talk) 18:38, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

You cannot just move an article to draft space because you personally think it doesn't have enough content. There are well established criteria and procedures for this, and at the very least you should specify what you think is lacking, and you should have used the talk page. Please rather block the single purpose account that vandalizes this article time and again, presumably also with aliases. Omikroergosum (talk) 18:45, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

I already submitted it to review as you might have seen and I find it extremely rude to move an article that has many reliable secondary sources and has been edited by a number of users for more than a year to draft without even elaborating on the reasons, and not even on request. Omikroergosum (talk) 20:40, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

From WP:Draft:

"The aim of moving an article to draft is to allow time and space for the draft's improvement until it is ready for mainspace. It is not intended as a backdoor route to deletion. As a matter of good practice the editor moving a page to draft should mark its talk page with the tags of any relevant projects as a means of soliciting improvements from interested editors.

...

Requirements for page movers

To unilaterally move an article to draft space, you should:

• notify the author (this is facilitated by the script User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js),
• be accountable for your draftification decisions per the standard described at Wikipedia:Administrators#Accountability

If an editor raises an objection, move the page back to mainspace and list at AfD."

Please follow the rules and good practice in the future. Since it seems to me you are not the only one who is not aware of them and users should be held accountable for such actions I brought it up at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#WP:Draft. Omikroergosum (talk) 16:12, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

FxPro

Hello Deb. Re the protection you've added to FxPro could the same be done to Draft:FxPro? The repeated recreator of the mainspace article has started a new draft on the same subject. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:04, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, I saw that but I'm not sure I have good cause to delete at the moment as the present wording isn't promotional. Deb (talk) 09:08, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I wanna ask why you delete my page without citing any reason. Its so rude. Im translating the FxPro page which already exists in german, spanish, russian, turkish language. its for general reading purpose not any advertisement.

Already explained on your talk page. The fact that there are articles about it on other Wikipedias doesn't alter the fact that it was promotionally worded (the Spanish version is also tagged as promotional). Deb (talk) 11:45, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Religion deletion

Church of God, a Worldwide Association has been deleted three times in past years. It is a real church organization which EXISTS, and therefore deserves an article to recognize its very existence. I want to know about it. I do feel you are being too argumentative concocting fussy reasons for denying a right. I'm trying to be an objective Wikipedia commenter. George Slivinsky (talk) 20:00, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @George Slivinsky: No, it does not. You might want to read Wikipedia:Existence ≠ Notability and Wikipedia:Existence does not prove notability for more information. Regards SoWhy 20:05, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I don't think the article was deleted due to lack of notability. George Slivinsky (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

There's an article called Church of God. It's a disambiguation page. If you are talking about some other article, please be specific about what it is. Deb (talk) 15:05, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Can you please undelete my page.

It was written impartially. Several other users simply stated that the references needed to be improved, so I don't know why you've taken it upon yourself to delete the page without first giving us the chance to improve it.

Many Thanks,

Restoring a deleted page

I have put a notice on my user page that discloses my compensation and addresses potential conflict of interest. Now that I have done this, can you store the page I created for Bedford Technology, LLC (company) Shanemurphy22 (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid not. I have re-read the deleted text and in my view it still meets the criteria for speedy deletion. If you are not happy with this decision, you can open a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Deb (talk) 14:24, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Deletion before contesting

Deb, you deleted my article prematurely. I am contesting the hold on publishing already and found you had simply deleted. Are you able to undo the deletion?

First article deleted

Hi,

I've just written my first article and it's been rejected. I appreciate your point around advertising, but i followed a very similar approach to that of Tony Robbins and I don't understand how mine is different and has been rejected. Any pointers are much appreciated. Thanks (RKleaderlikeyou (talk) 10:57, 10 September 2019 (UTC))RKleaderlikeyou

I don't understand reasons for speedy deletion

Deb, you put the page Ty Bennett up for speedy deletion under G11 citing "unambiguous advertising..." and also state that it appears to be promotional. Further, you insinuate a relationship between me and the subject. I have no such relationship, we've never met and I have no connection to him, and I wrote the article as objectively as possible (which is why it has a ton of objective citations). Can you please give me an example of something I wrote that is unambiguous or promotional? I'd like to write even better Wikipedia articles in the future and I'd also not like to have my hours of hard work speedy deleted just because someone didn't like it. Any advice is welcome. Cheers, tbc32

NYZCCC

Hi Deb, You nominated my draft for speedy deletion under suspicion of advertising. I have since removed any non-objective parts of the article and added more citations. Would you mind reviewing it again and letting me know if there is anything else I can improve? Thanks and hope you’re well. SahmSchiller (talk) 01:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Also, you removed the photo of the meditation room even though I myself took it. Please clarify? Thanks again. SahmSchiller (talk) 01:27, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

A second look if you would be so kind

Hi, Deb. I've made adjustments to this pending article. Per your advice, I ran a revised version by the Teahouse and received some great feedback and progress towards having the article published. Please take a look if you have a spare few minutes and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks! Sccros (talk) 18:12, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Ty Bennett

Hi Deb. You recently deleted a page that I created Ty Bennett. Is it possible to get that page put onto the talk page or onto my sandbox? I got some good feedback on the Articles for Deletion page and would like to improve the article and resubmit. - tbc32 (talk) 014:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm prepared to restore your text into your sandbox if you remove the overtly promotional content that's already in there. Alternatively, I could just speedily delete that myself. Deb (talk) 10:11, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I've removed everything from my sandbox. But I would like to know what made the article I was working on "overtly promotional". Obviously that wasn't my intent. Any advice you could give me to improve my writing would be very welcome. Cheers. Tyler (talk) 02:52, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Scanlan follow up

Hi Deb,

Following up on the earlier Scanlan flag. Thanks for letting me know! I am helping Scanlan create the page - since it’s been a significant company in its community for almost 100 years, having a simple page with an overview of its history and function is important.

I completely understand concerns around making entries biased or promotional, so I would welcome any edits to the site to make it better for Wikipedia users. Would you recommend re-editing in the Sandbox? Again, the primary purpose is to inform of the company’s existence, not to market any products.

Apologies for the oversight, and thanks again for the heads up!

Deb, as you have recently moved my article, can you help with the current submission. I have re-submitted it today after re-writing as my previous tag said that it had some promotional stuff and needs to be written again in order to meet the encyclopedic form. Can you tell if my current submission is good to go or does it need further improvement? (SmartCaptcha (talk) 15:35, 10 October 2019 (UTC))

Deletion?

According to the "standard" most of Wikipedia should be deleted! (Wallumbase (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC))

The article Copysafe PDF was added to support a forthcoming edit to the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software and was written similar to other supporting articles linked from there. In fact one was used a template and wording simply replaced where applicable. If my article does not satisfy the "standard" then none of the articles associated to "PDF Software" do either. So what is the purpose of "PDF Software" and why are all the other PDF applications listed and how can they be acceptable when all they do is "list the apps features" which seemingly is deemed to be "advertising"? (Wallumbase (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC))

I've already explained this on your talk page. You'll need to find a better argument than "other stuff exists". Deb (talk) 06:40, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

PDF24 Creator

Hi Deb. You speedy deleted PDF24 Creator, which was kept at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PDF24 Creator. I looked at the cached version of the deleted article and do not consider it to be "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Would you restore the article? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 07:41, 12 October 2019 (UTC) @Cunard:, Thanks, I missed that. The version I deleted was substantially different from the one that was kept, but isn't any worse in terms of its promotional content. I deleted after a complaint from another editor who pointed out that his recently-deleted article was similar. I have restored, even though I don't think it's notable and I still think it has promotional content, so I've tagged accordingly. Deb (talk) 07:55, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of The Residences Providence

I agree that page was, at the time you deleted it, fairly advertising-like. However, it looks like it had been a more neutral article for a while until someone added the ad material[5]. Would it be reasonable to undelete it and then revert the article to prior to that edit? DMacks (talk) 19:38, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Michael III

With reference to the date of birth of Michael III, your source seems to contain a typo or other form of mistake. In cases of genuine scholarly uncertainty it is always best to give multiple dates, with citations, rather than delete any and give the reader a false sense of certainty, as this is essentially 'own research'. Urselius (talk) 11:14, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

There are a number of books - such as Skylitzes Chronicle - which give the 19th, however, the definitive article is by Cyril Mango, who states that the balance of evidence supports January of 840.

Warning: Immigration and crime in Germany edit warring where you have deleted 3 times the same content

Your recent editing history here and here and here shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree.

In the three examples above you deleted valuable material added by A Thousand Words, then you were reverted by Pudeo, you persisted, I reverted you, you persisted, and finally 1Kwords had to fix your deletions.

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. XavierItzm (talk) 09:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Sadly, you have misunderstood what happened. The fact that people reverted instead of discussing on the Talk page doesn't mean that I made the same edit three times, nor did I delete anything "valuable", only badly written POV content.

can you also add a Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section on the page as well, as we clearly need a new lead for the article.--Kndnm64 (talk) 11:21, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

the existing one contains fraud deportations of somalis extremly negetive aspects of the somali community in norway i would appreciate if a new lead is created for this page also it doesn't seem neutral but one sided it would be better if the lead contains a summarry of the entire article.--Kndnm64 (talk) 12:26, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Deletion at DRN

User:Deb - I realize that this happened three days ago, but I have only now followed up on it. I see that you deleted a statement by Santasa99 from DRN: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&type=revision&diff=928762311&oldid=928760327&diffmode=source Did you consider the statement to be a personal attack, or was there a violation of discretionary sanctions? Why did you remove it? If you thought that it violated talk page guidelines as a personal attack or otherwise violated civility, I will defer to your judgment. However, in general, when I provide a statement for back-and-forth discussion, its purpose is to let the parties say silly stuff that can be ignored.

This isn't why did you delete my article. This is why did you delete someone else's insulting post. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:32, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Tess Vockler

Hi Deb,

I am here because you recently gave my page a speedily deletion due to promotion.

This page should not be speedily deleted because this is a fan page for Tess Vockler, a DJ who I follow. She does not have a page already, so I wanted to create the page for her. I listen to her music & have been to her performances, and Wikipedia is where I find most of my favorite artists' information so I figured I would create the page in case anyone else came across her and was a fan of her music.

Could you please explain to me why this is considered promotional? And if so, what I am missing from the resources I have found on the site?

Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pholcomb9 (talk • contribs) 05:09, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion and Semi Protection of Draft: Fred Schebesta

Hi Deb,

I saw that you recently deleted the page Draft: Fred Schebesta and also added a semi-protection tag. You also left a message on my tag page. I understand that you may think the material is promotional, I am more than happy to edit it however I am unsure what parts you think are promotional (please let me know). However, would you please be able to update the tag and allow for the page to exist.

Peace Dove

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.

Harrick Plasma Deletion

Hello Deb,

Thank you for reviewing my recent article on Harrick Plasma. The article was deleted, I believe mainly because of my link to the Harrick Plasma website and the comment on over 4,000 peer reviewed technical articles. I see how these can appear promotional, so they will not be included again. I believed, at the time, that this would hold up as a good source because, if followed, the link displays all 4,000 citations.

My intent was to focus on the research, and not to promote. I believe Harrick Plasma easily fits within wikipedia's notability standards considering the shear number of third party sources. I could pivet from research articles to news sources, but those actually seemed much more promotional to me. If there is an aspect of this that I am missing here, please let me know.

If you have any additional comments that may help me, that would be much appreciated.

Proposed deletion of Michael Wilding (disambiguation)

The article Michael Wilding (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not needed per WP:TWODABS.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thank you for feedback

Hello Deb

Thank you for your speedy review. I would like to know whether you can suggest how to correct the errors as I have stated below:

The article has 1 external link to the company website. Do I remove this?

Otherwise I have read the Wikipedia rules and wrote the article based on published articles and styles.

I am not being paid for this article or have any affiliation with the company. I want to do so in the future, but I asked a few companies if I could write about their business on Wikipedia for free to gain some experience in navigating through the process. I have three companies who have agreed to this and I will receive no compensation as I did not guarantee any results. I do however let them read the article before I publish.

If you have any more advice for me I would truly appreciate it as I understand you are very busy.

Hope to hear from you soon and again thank you for your assistance.

Deletion of page Padmakara Translation Group - request to restore

Dear Deb,

On the 9th January 2020, you removed the wiki page "Padmakara Translation Group", on the grounds of copyright issues. But the text, in question, had been taken from a website of the Padmakara Translation Group itself, and cited, so there is no grounds for this, I think. This is a non-profit organisation that belongs in Wikipedia because of its value to society, and Western Buddhism in particular, it's not a company, I know that they actually don't depend on sales or marketing, because all of their translators work on the basis on scholarship funds, and sponsorship like from Tsadra Foundation (see below).

I've just collected some links from other foundations and so on to try prove it's worth. I don't belong directly to the organisation, but "we" my girlfriend and I both noticed that the page had been deleted, because the content has been highjacked by this website: https://pt.qwe.wiki/wiki/Padmakara_Translation_Group . Which is displaying the page you deleted but as a way of showing advertising. They are abusing wikipedia material, and translating it with automatic translation.

This is an institution that cannot have its page merely deleted, because they are recommended by all the great teachers of Buddhism today, starting by the Dalai Lama himself. I just started to edit their page because there were abusive links placed there, and one was old.

Some other reference Links: https://khyentsefoundation.org/2016-khyentse-fellows/

Marathon_Group_(russian_company)

Hello. You deleted my article Marathon_Group_(russian_company) for advertising, but it seems to me that this is the result of a misunderstanding and, possibly, my lack of understanding of the features of the English literary style.

The company itself is very interesting both in the context of taking control of Magnit, the largest Russian food retailer by the state-owned VTB Bank, and in connection with its active presence in the Russian pharmaceutical market (there was a time when it entered the top 7 among Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers) and a failed merger with Naсimbio - russian semimonopolist in vaccine market, stateowned via Rostec.

Could you restore this article to me in draft page? I would like to finalize it, and do correct by removing possible problems whith advertisment-style clauses.

January 2020

Your recent editing history at Kate Winslet shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 13:48, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on others again, as you did at Talk:Kate Winslet, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 13:48, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Involved Admin

Please note that you have violated WP:INVOLVED with your recent block on WP:3RR where you were involved in edit warring. I would suggest unblocking and letting another admin at WP:ANEW to do the needful.--DBigXrayᗙ 13:55, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate that.

You'll have noticed that the user's been blocked previously for the same thing. This present article is the first interaction I've ever had with him, but he's tit-for-tatting like mad. I'll lift the block if you'll replace it. Deb (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Violation of WP:INVOLVED is a bigger concern here and is ground enough for de-sysopping. We can discuss the merits, but You should unblock him first. I am not an admin, so I cant block him or replace the block. File an ANEW if you want.--DBigXrayᗙ 14:00, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I know, although I wouldn't agree that I was edit warring as I was still trying to achieve consensus by trying out different wording while Krimuk was repeatedly reverting me. Grateful for your intervention. Deb (talk) 14:02, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for agreeing to my request. I am not an admin so I cant block anyone here. Please file an ANEW if you feel a block is merited. thank you.DBigXrayᗙ 14:05, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Gee, thanks. Deb (talk) 14:08, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I had to revert you on Kate as your edit still contained controversial content on which both were edit warring. Please propose this on the talk first and attempt compromise on the talk page. For now I have reverted to WP:STATUSQUO version --DBigXrayᗙ 14:13, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

And now you're edit warring. That's disruptive if nothing else. Deb (talk) 14:14, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

There is absolutely nothing controversial in my edit. You can see from the talk page that there is no consensus for Krimuk's preferred wording, and you're simply encouraging him in his efforts to play off one person against another. As for "grounds for de-sysopping", that simply shows up your lack of understanding of how adminship works. Deb (talk) 14:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Deb Please answer this: Who introduced the controversial text into the article ? I restored the version before edit wars. I am neither encouraging nor taking sides here. If you disagree or If you think I am being unreasonable or taking sides here then please proceed to WP:ANEW and file a case, so that an admin "who knows well on how adminship works" with an "understanding of how adminship works" will do what is needed here. regards. --DBigXrayᗙ 14:24, 13 January 2020 (UTC) updated --DBigXrayᗙ 14:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

"knows well on how adminship works"? What's that supposed to mean? There was no "controversial" text introduced into the article. If you've looked at the talk page, you'll have seen that support was immediately forthcoming for my change, and as yet there has been none for Krimuk's reversion, despite his canvassing. Deb (talk) 14:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the typo. I fixed it above. Unless you have clear consensus for the change, you cannot change the article. The only option that you have here, is to continue the talk page discussion and follow WP:DR. If you believe the behavioral issues and disruption merits a block by an admin then please post a thread on WP:ANEW or WP:ANI.--DBigXrayᗙ 14:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

When you stated that my comment on "grounds for de-sysopping", "simply shows up your lack of understanding of how adminship works". Are you claiming that your block did not violate WP:INVOLVED or are you claiming that violating INVOLVED is not a ground for desysopping. Please clarify this. --DBigXrayᗙ 15:20, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Violating INVOLVED is not, in itself, grounds for de-sysopping. The process is far more complex than that. Deb (talk) 15:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Let me put it this way. Can the "complex process of de-sysopping" be requested with a case of WP:INVOLVED? --DBigXrayᗙ 15:28, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, but it's very unlikely to succeed. So it's a bad idea to threaten admins. Deb (talk) 15:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

From what I have seen, whether it succeeds or not will depend on the how the process goes, background investigation, etc. But the fact that the process can be initiated due to violation of WP:INVOLVED shows that my understanding after all is not flawed. You can call it "threatening", I will call it "reminding an admin that he is in conflict with a major policy". --DBigXrayᗙ 15:37, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I see you've already taken advice on this from another experienced user, so you know the score. The Arbitration Committee are not idiots: they are able to recognise when an admin is being baited by one or more editors, and they can tell the difference between a minor or unintended violation and a genuine abuse of privilege. Deb (talk) 15:50, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Obviously that is how an arbcom case proceeds, but the point being made here is that, an INVOLVED block can be grounds for desysopping. I just wanted to make this clear that my understanding after all is not flawed, as was claimed above. Now instead of wrongly accusing me of threatening, IMHO a more appropriate thing to do right now, would have been to apologize to User:Krimuk2.0 for blocking him in violation of INVOLVED. That I believe will certainly be helpful in calming the tempers, but that is just me. --DBigXrayᗙ 16:03, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Deb, I'm honestly growing pretty tired of the "Yuni Wa" wiki page constantly being deleted, I didnt create this wiki for advertising purposes or for promoting. I'm just trying to make a wiki that has accurate information about "Yuni Wa" for the 10 million plus people that have streamed "Yuni Wa's" music. I just want to contribute positively to Wikipedia and make a accurate profile for this notable artist but I'm having a hard time because none of the editors can understand why Yuni Wa is notable because no one is reading the major press coverage links or paying attention to the traffic the music is getting. They are simply deleting the account because they think its self advertisement even though it isnt self advertisement, its about havng the most accurate information possible and no one has more accurate information about Yuni Wa than me.Princetoncole —Preceding undated comment added 15:10, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Roshan Singh

Hi Deb

I have just noticed that you have reverted my entry in "births" section on January 22 article, by mentioning "no new entries without inline citations". I added an entry about Roshan Singh, who is a well known Indian freedom fighter and is already mentioned in "Deaths" section in December 19 article. I have made just a few modifications on Wikipedia to date. So, can you guide or suggest me exactly which type of inline citation should be added? I am not asking for the source of citation, I am just asking whether it is sufficient to add a citation from a biography available online on some other website, or there must be a citation from a book or official document?

Request for Review of Draft:Thaiboy Digital

Hi Deb,

You flagged a page I was working on a while ago, and I have now supplemented it with a proper amount of sourcing and information. Would it be possible for you to review it and have it cleared as an article?

Here is a link to the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thaiboy_Digital

Thank you,

Lithexfree (talk) 13:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb,

Saw your response on my page, thank you for the speedy answer. I have submitted it for review but it has been three months now and the estimate for how long it will take only gets longer. Is there a way I could expedite the process?

Thank you,

Sheeri Cabral

Hi Deb,

A community member notified me that this wikipedia page about me had a flag on it. There was an external link to a site that redirected to yellowpages.org, which I replaced with an archive.org URL for the web archived version of the actual page. I carefully re-read the NPOV guidelines and each sentence on the page to make sure the statements are neutral and facts. If there's another problematic link, or the language is problematic, please let me know and I'll happily change it so it meets Wikipedia's standards. Awfief (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb,

If you check out the "Talk" page for Sheeri Cabral, you'll see that I went through this process 10 years ago - I did not write the article about myself, I am well aware of the conflict of interest guidelines. I have gone in and made small edits - cleaned up formatting, updated a picture, added or fixed citations as the policy allowed back then. I absolutely have not made the type of edits that would qualify as a "major contributor"! I have read the updated COI policy and I see that basically no edits are allowed; I will adhere to that now.

The links to blogs are the official MySQL blogs where news was announced 10 years ago; the link to iTunes is a citation for the podcast. These are primary sources that I do not manage (and again, most of the links were not added by me).

I have also removed the self-promotional content from my User page. (sorry, I never did read those guidelines, but I have now, thanks for alerting me!) Awfief (talk) 21:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb,

Okay, I'll take your word for it that the article wasn't created by you, but it was created by an anon contributor

You don't have to take my word for it. The history page shows it was created by the user "AlexGorbachev", who was the CTO of the company I worked at, at the time. I explained on the talk page:

Yes, my CTO created the page. He'd asked for a list of accomplishments for an award nomination, and combined with my resume (which he has on file but is also publicly available at sheeri dot com slash resume) he made the page. Apparently someone else from my company cleaned up the page. My CTO told me about the wikipedia page and I read it immediately, and then edited it with the changes you see under the handle "Awfief". So even though the time frames for the editing were close (and the IP addresses may be similar, or even the same, due to our company NAT), that doesn't mean that the page is auto-biographical.

The edits I made were not part of the COI at the time. My page was marked for speedy deletion due to a claim of autobiographical content 10 years ago, which is when I put that note in. A month later, it was flagged for not meeting notability requirements, and I wrote:

The awards were the official MySQL AB and then Sun Microsystems awards, they're only given out once per year, and they give them to 3 people per year, starting in 2006. It's a rare thing.

As for the book -- it's *the* beginner/intermediate reference, just as High Performance MySQL is *the* advanced reference. I'm not sure how to prove a book is notable, currently amazon.com lists it as: "Amazon.com Sales Rank: #112,981 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)" -- that's pretty darn good, ranking about 113,000 among *all* books, ever, not just tech books.

Also notable is being invited to give a keynote at the MySQL Conference -- again, this was *the* official MySQL Conference, the biggest one, and I was invited by the Conference Committee (ie, not a 'sponsorship' keynote). That implies that the folks who create and update the software think I'm important.

I have given a lot back to the community, including (but not limited to) podcasts, been a consistent top MySQL blogger for the past 4 years, software, free presentations. Because of this, most people in the MySQL community would know who you are talking about if you talk about "Sheeri". I am notable in the MySQL niche, so only if that niche is too small should this article be deleted (in which case you'd have to delete the articles for Monty_Widenius and Brian_Aker too. (note that I'm not AS famous as they are in the general open source world, but most folks in the MySQL world do know my name).

At the time, SoulSole, the editor who flagged it for notability criteria, accepted those as notability criteria. Since then, I have made more notable contributions, though I cannot add them to the page because that's a conflict of interest.

I am currently not a part of the MySQL community any more, so I do not benefit from having this Wikipedia page. However, I object to erasing my historical contributions, particularly in an area of expertise that had so few women leaders (I hope it's different now!). I can do the work to find different citations, and suggest them on the talk page, so I don't violate the current COI policy.

However, I would like some guidance on: What a citation for a podcast should be - I manage the podcast's website, so it doesn't seem appropriate to link there, but an iTunes link isn't correct either...?

What a citation for news that's on an official industry blog should be - I can suggest links to replace the dead links, but they will be web archive links to the original source, and if the official MySQL blog is not a credible source, please let me know what is (I may have video recordings of the award ceremonies, but that would be video I took, on a youtube channel I own, which again doesn't feel appropriate.)

I want to work within the guidelines. I am honest about my edits - I don't edit anonymously. Adding citations and updating the current employer are not "substantial edits" according to the Wikipedia editor who removed the autobiographical flag when this came up 10 years ago. Awfief (talk) 15:58, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb, Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom! I thought Ginsengbomb was a good source as they are a Veteran Editor and at the time had tons of experience. I'll see what I can do about getting the draft improved. Awfief (talk) 18:53, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Delectation of page Arvind Yadav

Can an article deleted by you while in draft be recovered?

Can we have access to the draft? Because the information was prepared in a very detailed way. It cannot be rewritten. I did not receive any copies of that information because we thought it would be kept for 6 months. Please allow access to the draft until you get a copy. Thank you for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Correctto (talk • contribs) 21:12, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

There is problem with:

Article deleted - RBC Bearings Inc

I am truly surprised that RBC Bearings Inc. Wikipedia page was deleted less than 12 hours after I created it. Following are some of the main reasons that RBC Bearings Inc page should be reinstated.

1. RBC Bearings Inc. Is a major US public traded company for more 25 years which is founded about 100 years ago. It has 35 plants with 3500 employees in four counties including 10 plants in US.
2. One can can easily see over 100 news articles by Googling “RBC Bearings Inc.” under news section of Google which are all directly related to RBC Bearings Inc. from various sources.
3. It is one the two largest companies for manufacturing of bearings. There is already a Wikipedia page associated with bearing (Mechanical).

I read the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view and do not see anything that stands out. What the company does, who they supply, their facilities/plants, what they manufacture as well as the history and acquisitions which are all facts.

I believe it is prematurely deleted. Please undelete and provide me an opportunity to make changes or edits. I would like your input or suggestions regarding changes and edits that would make this page acceptable.

Thank you.

Your (covert, misleading) behaviour

On 17 March,16:17h, you made a considerable edit in the lead of article European migrant crisis: you simplified a citation from the EU President Tusk in November 2015 – saying that "restoring (..) border control (..) was" a race against time in saving the Schengen Agreement – into: "there was" a race against time to save the Schengen Agreement. (Tusk admitted that "this" [= "re-imposition of border controls"] was a race to save the Schengen Agreement, says the article, several times, in different wordings.) First of all, I'd like to know, why you removed that (substantial, consequential) part of that statement of Tusk. Secondly, I'm rather cross at you for 'treacherously', covertly, presenting that edit which obviously (and importantly) changed the contents of the cited statement as if it were only a "minor edit" involving only an "improve wording", as you noted in your edit summary. What are you driving at, with such (manipulative, dishonest) behaviour? Please, start working honestly and cooperatively, in Wikipedia. --Corriebertus (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

I changed the wording because the sentence, as it stood, was in poor English and didn't make sense. I consider that minor. Please remember our Wikipedia:Assume good faith guideline. Deb (talk) 12:59, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

largely unreferenced or poorly referenced, and unclear

Wikipedia has tags, which every editor advised to use. You constantly delete rather than improve. Why are you not working with the editors? I recognize you constantly delete other editors additions, too. If you weren't administrator, wouldn't that qualify against some Wikipedia rule? This is a perfectly correct, valid, addition: [[7]]. You should reverse yourself. BlueMadrigal (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Four different editors have now had to deal with your poorly-worded and confusing edits. We can't go on like this. Please restrict yourself to minor edits on this article from now on. Deb (talk) 19:03, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

I thank you for your good advise. Beyond my short comings, which you graciously pointed out, my criticism to you still stands. You should reverse yourself. You could correct my mistakes in these two paragraphs (thanks in advance), or point to errors I will fix it. BlueMadrigal (talk) 19:17, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but if I had time to correct all your English, I would have done so. You need to limit your editing until you have more experience. As others have pointed out, you've done a lot of damage to the article already.Deb (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Can you restore Jerrold Mundis please so I can take it private

Deb-- My article on Jerrold Mundis was deleted by you I think and if I did not do it correctly somehow I stand corrected but it was quite a bit of work. I see now perhaps I should have done it in my sandbox or with some other protocol for creating new articles so can please make some recommendations for this and restore the work I did somehwere? This person is very important and there is a title wave of interest in him after passing away so I am willing to do what it takes to get it done properly.

I already gave you advice on your Talk page. Please read that. I won't restore material that is promotional. I realise the guy is dead and it won't benefit him directly if more copies of his book are sold, but you'd be better off starting again from scratch if you feel you really have to do it. Deb (talk) 15:30, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Deb. I created a page Draft:Jerrold_Mundis and I am asking you to please put the hours of work I did in there. If by promotion you are refferring to the "superstar' comment, it was in quotes. I will attribute it to a particular person. I will also be extra careful to look for other promotional wording. But you are right it "won't benefit him directly" because he is dead. I am merely trying to provide factual information about a person. I created the DRAFT page as a place hoilder but I would aprreciate you would restore to me the hours of work I already did from "scratch." Much obliged!

Speedy deletion nomination of Alfonso Calderon (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Alfonso Calderon (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

per WP:TWODABS and per WP:SMALLDETAILS, there is no need for a disambiguation page when there is only two people, and they both use different spellings (one uses an accent, the other does not).

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. cookie monster (2020) 755 19:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb, sorry for the reverse posting. It is your talk page, afterall. This is just a technical request. per WP:TWODABS, when we only have two articles, we don't usually need a separate disambiguation page. Hatnotes suffice. Cheers, cookie monster (2020) 755 19:52, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

In my opinion it's an unnecessary deletion. Better to have a disambiguation page than have to add hatnotes to two separate pages. But there we are, that's the rule... Deb (talk) 06:50, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Next time, please restore everything, remove/RD the copyvio content along with the {{db-g12}} tag, so that I don't have to basically repeat your deletion a second time (though in truth, the absurdity of the situation led me to not just delete it outright). Primefac (talk) 01:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

The reason I only restored one edit was that I didn't want to restore any copyvio content. I left it to the creator to remove the G12 tag, which, had it been my article, I would have done myself as a matter of urgency. You didn't have to delete it just because it was tagged - you had the option to remove the tag if you were satisfied it no longer applied, as indeed you did. Deb (talk) 07:43, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb, I've now amended the 'Nigel Anderson' page. Would you mind reviewing please and if happy, releasing the others for me to rewrite now too.

ANI close wording

Hi Deb, I'm glad you closed the ANI thread, but I'm slightly worried about the wording. It's only implicit in

There is a consensus that User:Mztourist is not prepared to discuss or justify his edits.

that there was a consensus that their behavior was problematic, but the close lacks an explicit warning. It's clear from the discussion that the editor thinks that their refusal to discuss or justify edits is not WP:OWNERSHIP, and it's clear from the discussion that the consensus of uninvolved editors is that it is ownership. — MarkH₂₁^talk 08:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I don't see the wording as a problem. As yet no need has been identified for any kind of disciplinary action; the only purpose of the message is to allow the discussion to be archived with an explanation of why it was closed. It's usually better to focus on the future rather than the past. Trust me: I've been there so many times I've lost count. Deb (talk) 10:26, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

There was pretty clear consensus that their behavior was problematic at the least, which I would expect constitutes an admin warning (especially since they removed non-admin warnings as "vandalism"). I agree that for this particular issue, we needed to move on to the DR. However, the need for a general admin warning stems from the need to prevent future ownership issues against other editors. This is particularly harmful to new editors. — MarkH₂₁^talk 10:31, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

That will come when and if it's necessary. Deb (talk) 10:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

It might. Or a new editor might leave the project instead of finding DR or an admin, or get blocked for doing something in retaliation because they don’t know better. — MarkH₂₁^talk 11:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of PartnerRe

I have been on Wikipedia for a decade and i certainly know the policies. You just speedy deleted a page i created without even contacting me or bothering to check if the user that created it is trustworthy. That page was about one of the largest reinsurers in the world and was well referenced but since you saw it was a stub you deleted it sending me a canned message about advertising and bla bla bla without even checking the contents. Great job , keep it up Itemirus (talk) 11:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

"It is one of the leading reinsurers" is a statement, it is a fact. It is not an advertisement. Besides that, reinsurers do not advertise at all because their clients are big insurance companies and sell their services via dedicated channels, as their business is in a market niche that most people do not even know exists. I would agree on speedy deletion if i advertise a product from a company. I was instead stating that PartnerRe is a leading reinsurer. So you are the one wrong on all counts. You could have placed a tag or ask for clarification in the talk page if you are unfamiliar with the matter. The simple fact that an editor with a 13 year history of contributions to Wikipedia created the article could have suggested that maybe it was not a simple advertising article created by an obscure IP editor but that maybe it was a worthwhile page to keep and ask for clues in the talk page. That would have been the proper procedure to follow. Itemirus (talk) 16:14, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Or you could have just done it properly in the first place. You should know that any such claim has to be referenced. This is not something optional that you can ignore just because you have been here a while. (Incidentally, your edit count and editing pattern are unimpressive.) All the more reason for you to follow the guidelines like other experienced users do. Deb (talk) 16:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

My warning to User:Senor Freebie

Hi. After your block of User:Senor Freebie, I declined his unblock request and then later checked up on the cause of the "bias" he accused me of (I'd forgotten having interacted with him before). It was in 2017, and looking back at that and his talk page since, I'm seeing chronic personal attacks whenever he gets into disagreements, including some really quite nasty ones. So, I've given him a stern warning at User talk:Senor Freebie#Warning, and if you can spare a few minutes I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I'm being fair, too strict, or what? And independent opinion would be appreciated. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:18, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Simon Furman

Thanks for your improvement on the article Simon Furman. I noticed you added a "clarification needed" tag to this:

His convention exclusive novella/comic serial, The Omega Point, includes an apocalyptic end of days scenario for the Transformers, and a quest by one of the heroes to ask for help in the land of the dead.

"Convention exclusive" simply means that the comic was only available at a convention event for fans, it was not released through retail. But I don't know how to put that in the article more clearly. JIP | Talk 20:34, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

COI accusations

As Serial Number 54129 has asked me to. Here are the diffs for the COI accusations and other frankly unpleasant editing and comments from JJ. accusation of COI, Accusation of bias, when as you can see clearly what was there was not neutrally written or included all points, accusation of censoring, accusation of bias which another editor then changed wording and said it wasn't bias, Accusation of bias and POV, I don't see any in that change, this edit summary, COI accusation, Wici Rhuthun 1 COI accusation (I suspect that there has been something going on) and COI accusation. Also the reason why I slapped a warning weeks ago at him was because he would edit against sources, inserting bias and not writing something neutral and have all the facts in and state something in his edit summary which was not what he was doing. But apparently that's bullying. Numerous times Defacto has told him of NPOV, balance and among other things. He refuses to acknowledge that he is disruptive and accuses others of behaviour. Games of the world (talk) 12:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

From personal attack page "Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links." I'm sorry but how does saying that I have a COI or saying that about other editors or groups of editors without any evidence and repeatedly saying it acceptable? In addition instead of throwing blocks round would you like to have civilised dialogue (you seem to be very short in wanting to work things out from what I can see). Especially as you never explained why I was block and have slapped personal attacks and harassment on it. I fail to see harassment full stop. Also calling another user stupid which I said don't be stupid that is uncivil at worse and never a personal attack (according to your comment of seeing nothing rude on the page in the first place), especially when said users have regurgitated the same discussion 20 times. I removed your last comment on my page for these things. 1. No one has the right to be uncivil to anyone or to say what they like about others just because they have been on something for longer nor to frequently break editing rules (especially when they come on to edit one article only! Note not edited on this wiki for over a year 3 of them all of a sudden they edit this one article and do so against guidelines). 2. John Jones has repeatedly inserted stuff which fails neutrality, bias, and just gives half the details. Am I not allowed to edit those monstrosities? How is that harassment, in fact his behaviour is "Tendentious editing is a manner of editing that is partisan, biased or skewed taken as a whole. It does not conform to the neutral point of view, and fails to do so at a level more general than an isolated comment that was badly thought out. On Wikipedia, the term also carries the connotation of repetitive attempts to insert or delete content or behavior that tends to frustrate proper editorial processes and discussions." I'm sorry but inserting bias view points into articles, inserting in factual stuff and only half a story is that and therefore only frustrates people IS tendentious editing and he knows dam well what he is doing! It is NOT when people go around fixing it! NOR is is harassment! John Jones has hounded for weeks on end editors who do not share his view accusing people of bias and COI. Quote harrasement page: "Harassment, including threats, intimidation, repeated annoying and unwanted contact or attention, and repeated personal attacks may reduce an editor's enjoyment of Wikipedia and thus cause disruption to the project." So how is repeating personal attacks and getting other users to repeat them not harassment against me? 3. If I post one someone's page a warning I have a reason. It is not up for you to turn around and accuse me of doing it on purpose or to say that I was. You do not have a right to place words in my mouth. I placed it as I said before cause he was inserting stuff with out sources. He got very aggressive and accusing me of this that and the other and therefore he is and was guilty (John well knows what he has been doing over the last 3 weeks). Therefore your comment about my actions was out of line. Capewearer was not intimidated! He has poor English skills and was sat there endorsing these poor edits. Today he has reappeared and guess what? Edits constructively, just like he was with me before JJ appeared and insert infactul stuff/half truths. The point is don't just judge people's comments on an one off occasion as we all know people will take any opportunity. Frankly I found your tone extremely aggressive and proactive despite genuine concerns with evidence, I suggest you reflect on what you wrote and see why it was not an acceptable tone and neither was what you said. I'm trying to build a bridge here and want fairness from yourself. So far you have not been very fair nor wanting to build a bridge. That is why I said you were shortsighted in slapping warning tags on my page when removing them, it takes two to tango and the comments from JJ and others were as bad if not worse. I didn't have a problem with you posting it, I don't agree with them as I don't see a lot of research into the situation as noted above, but I ain't going to throw a hissy fit or hold it against anyone. Games of the world (talk) 21:04, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

p.s apparently the above is a "bombastic reply" which is what Capewearer has described my talk comments. He has no right to say that, especially when my comments to him were reasoned and followed general English rules in how to write stuff etc. And I would say that the comment above is defantly not bombastic and has a lot of sense and worth. Games of the world (talk) 21:06, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

He has as much right to say that as you have to come here and do what you yourself call "ranting". And he's correct. Naturally you think you have a lot of sense and worth. The problem is that, like so many disruptive editors, you don't see yourself as others see you. Deb (talk) 07:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

I never said I was ranting. Again making assumptions and putting words into people's mouths will only get you into trouble. You were ranting on my page it was completely out of order to do so. Games of the world (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the ANI dispute which you blocked me for

Hi Deb,

This has been my first opportunity to communicate with you since you blocked me. I'd like to clear up a few things. First off; the admins Ad Orientem & Boing both blocked me previously for commenting on similar matters regarding American war crimes on the article Battle of Brisbane. I find their judgement to be questionable at best, because they supported the view that material that put American military forces involved in extrajudicial killings of African Americans was not relevant to Wikipedia. Leaving that aside, I'd like make you aware of my feelings regarding the block and the conduct of the editors involved:

I was not aware of your warning to block people for edits. Based on the talk page discussion at the time of my last edit on Phoenix Program, you did not revert to the last undisputed edit, but rather to one that was no longer in dispute. This was explained on the ANI discussion, but removed by one of the involved editors before you arrived; Diff meaning that you lacked context in your decision making. I'm happy to consider this matter over. I'm frankly put off from the Wikipedia project in general at the moment by the behaviour of others involved in this, and in light of my understanding of American interference in the neutrality of this project. I have made an effort to correct errors in articles on subjects relating to war crimes in particular because I consider this an area of historical importance, but repeatedly I have come up against specific groups of users exhibiting ownership like behaviour on these articles, manipulation of the Wikipedia rules, and administrators. These editors seem specifically focused on removing articles that comment on matters of historical record that portray US military forces in a negative light. And it's just too much effort for a layperson to get involved, much less defend themselves from such bad faith behaviour.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Senor Freebie: I did not support any view that "material that put American military forces involved in extrajudicial killings of African Americans was not relevant to Wikipedia", so stop your scurrilous accusations. You were not blocked for "commenting on similar matters regarding American war crimes", you were blocked for edit warring, making personal attacks and, in one case for "Endless WP:NPA WP:DRAMA and refusal to WP:DROPTHESTICK" (just like you're doing now). If you check your block log, you will find that I have never blocked you - I merely revoked your talk page access once when you were already blocked. My actions involving you have been totally, 100%, addressing your behaviour in disputes and I have not commented on any content disagreement itself. You can search the history of your talk page if you think you can find any examples of my taking the stance you accuse me of. You have been warned, and blocked, multiple times for making this kind of personal attack. Next time I see an attack like that on me, I will be asking another admin if they think it needs action. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:45, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, both. I get the picture. Senor Freebie feels aggrieved because my actions weren't what he would have preferred, and draws the conclusion that I either wasn't impartial or made a mistake. The user he was complaining about on ANI made the same accusation because I didn't take his side. I hope anyone reading this who is thinking of going to adminship will not go into it without realising what they are going to be up against. Deb (talk) 07:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Deb my objection was that nothing was done about Senor Freebie's false socking allegations and their personal attacks on me which continue here: [9]. Mztourist (talk) 10:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Television program(me)s CFD

Hi Deb, to summarize the closing statement, there was a general consensus to standardize under a single name rather than keep things as is, and weighting the different arguments (all shows vs. all programs vs. all programmes), both Fayenatic london and I agreed that the weight of argument for "shows" was strongest.

I do think that there are some deeper issues involving WP:ENGVAR at play that I do not think that CFD is the right venue to handle. I really think that an RFC should be brought about this whole matter because now there's a growing rift between articlespace and category space. I would not be surprised if further discussions actually revert what happened in this particularly CFD, because the category tree is still far from being uniform. Nevertheless, if you feel that the closure was improper, you're welcome to take it to move review per the standard process. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 19:59, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

@User:Bibliomaniac15, since you closed the discussion, I am surprised that you write a commentary which entirely ignores the fact that the discussion was about MOS:COMMONALITY, whose goal is to avoid ENGVAR issues.

Public or Subsidiary?

I had a question regarding the company type on articles such as Mindtree which are listed as public but more than 50% of their outstanding shares are owned by another company making them a subsidiary and a public company at the same time. In such situations which would be a more accurate descriptor of the company? Debitpixie (💬) (talk) 14:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Weird behavior

Just wanted to let you know about this edit: [13] this user has been making some generally odd edits (welcoming a user who hasn't edited in 14 years? [14]) and I honestly have no clue why but just a heads up. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 04:07, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

For the moment I'm interpreting this as someone who is trying to learn how to edit Wikipedia - maybe someone who hasn't created an ID because they are worried about getting blocked if they make mistakes and is just looking for something useful to do. Deb (talk) 06:59, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

AD curator

Hello Deb, I'm trying to write a basic page on my sandbox about an art gallery and its gallerist without any personal interest. I've received your message about the "speedy deletion nomination" along with this message :

- July 2020[edit] Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.--VVikingTalkEdits 14:29, 15 July 2020 (UTC) -

It's my first time on Wikipedia and for my page I've taken the exemples of many other art galleries/gallerists pages with the same frameworks. Could you please help me to understand what I did wrong in order to change my text that is totally free and without "advertising material".

Thank you ! Best ADcurator ADcurator (talk) 15:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Bryan Calvin

I see you've blocked Bryan Calvin (talk · contribs) a number of times for unreferenced additions of days of births, both to DOY articles and others. He's back at it. I think an indefinite block might be in order at this point. This has become a chronic problem. Toddst1 (talk) 22:29, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Both of your warnings in this edit were duplicates.   — Jeff G. ツ 03:23, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb. Thanks for your work yesterday on finding a source or two for players such as Sedick Conrad. I've used that same source for Edward Habane's article. Thanks again! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Unprotect/unlock request

Hello Deb. Is the create-protection restriction on article: Ranjit Kumar Singh removable? I am requesting as because of this draft at AfC. --Gpkp [u • t • c] 15:36, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

I can't say I'm convinced about his notability and I'm pretty sure there's a COI or two among the list of editors. However, I don't see any create protection. Deb (talk) 15:58, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Page name: Ranjit Kumar Singh is create-protected. As visible on page, the restriction:
′[Create=Require administrator access] (indefinite); protected by admin: Athaenara, on 08:21, June 23, 2019′.
I withdraw request if COI issues are invloved. What do you suggest? --Gpkp [u • t • c] 16:15, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I see. My mistake, I was looking at the draft. You should ask User:Athaenara for advice. Deb (talk) 16:18, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Deb. I asked there. --Gpkp [u • t • c] 16:33, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Globalize tag

Hello. I maintain the 2020 in rock page, among others. At least 3 times now, you slapped the globalize tag on the article. And three times I’ve asked you to explain what should be added. The scope of the article is major rock releases and events. What sort of thing do you feel is lacking? COVID is making it a slow year for much of the music industry, especially rock. If there’s some major rock release or event needing documentation from South America, I’d love to add it. But I’ve got my finger on the pulse of rock music. And I don’t know of anything like that. And I’m virtually the only person who contributes to the page. So if I don’t know what you’re referring to, the tag isn’t helping. I’m not against adding more info from other regions. I’d like that actually. I’m just against adding tags on articles that just sit there indefinitely and don’t help anything. If you can’t elaborate, and the only contributor doesn’t know what to add. A tag isn’t helping. Sergecross73 msg me 19:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

For a start, I haven't "slapped" a tag on the article "at least three times", though I may have, at various times in the past, noticed the lack of globalization in the article and added an improvement tag. For you to imply, as you do above, that you are responsible for maintaining that article suggests an ownership problem. For you to remove the tag without any attempt to add entries from outside the US is irresponsible. Maybe you think that the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart is the only arbiter of what constitutes rock music and what should be included in an article entitled "2020 in rock music". If so, you are wrong. Try looking for notable rock music from other continents and maybe you'll start to understand what needs to be included. Deb (talk) 19:54, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Your response is completely unfair. Please assume good faith. A lot of what you said is not quite right.

1. Youve added the tag 4 times now. 12, 3, 4
2. I’ve repeatedly added new content and asked for input on what else can be added, without any input from you.
3. Ive added more international content. World tours being cancelled. Green Day and Liam Gallagher topping the UK chart. And I’ve removed/deleted a bunch of non-notable US entries. A number of the bands listed with upcoming material and deaths sections are from around the world. (Serj Tankian is Armenian, Bring Me the Horizon is UK based and more popular there, etc)
4. I’m not trying to maintain ownership. I don’t believe there’s been a single dispute outside of your repeated addition of the tag. I’m not saying I have authority, I’m just saying I’m the only one there.

Sorry I haven’t been doing a good enough job of keeping tabs on the entire planet’s worth of rock music occurrence for an entire year on a volunteer basis all by myself. And I’m really sorry I had the audacity to ask you for examples. Silly me. Sergecross73 msg me 20:41, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

You're saying you're the only one there, but actually that's not true. Other people have edited the article, including me. Others have improved it. But it still needs work, and the US-centricity stands out a mile compared with the other Year in Music articles (with the exception of the one on Country Music, where there is some justification for it being US-centric). Why keep removing the tag when it's not fixed? Let's work together on this. I'm not asking you to use the same Year in Topic layout as is usual in other YIT articles, just to think again about your definition of rock music. Deb (talk) 20:49, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

I’ll gladly work with you on it. Your input is what I’ve been asking you for all along. Even if it’s just dropping sources and leads on the talk page, like I already do for myself. Sergecross73 msg me 21:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance on this. Especially on the “Deaths” sections. I don’t particularly like writing those ones, but they seem to be an expected thing on these sorts of articles. Sergecross73 msg me 15:52, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I'll try and keep up my efforts. Deb (talk) 17:22, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Year pages and addition of politicians

Hi there, so in light of the recent discussions to do with John Lewis on Talk:2020 as well as other edits where domestic politicians are added by users on the main yearly pages, I was wondering if you'd be interested in working with me on coming up with a new standard for these pages. One which essentially decides which politicians are to be included on the yearly pages - on the basis of their positions achieved and/or the notability & impact they had internationally. Over the last year alone, I've found that there has been multiple occasions where the passings of domestic politicians (almost all members of the US Congress) are added onto the main yearly pages with little debate unless they are invariably brought up by (usually) either of us. Hopefully we can come up with some sort of strict guidelines which'll ultimately limit which politicians would be added onto the main yearly pages, and in turn tighten the Deaths sections and perhaps even reduce the number of arguments on these pages. --Thescrubbythug (talk) 14:46, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of Draft:Lark (software)

Hi Deb. You recently deleted a draft that I wrote called Draft:Lark (software), saying that it was written like an advertisement. I would greatly appreciate it if you could restore the draft and give me the opportunity to remove any promotional elements from the text, so that I can then resubmit it to be evaluated through the AfC process.

I've read the policy you linked to explaining that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion, and I am happy to follow this policy to the letter. I tried to use the simplest, most neutral language to describe on a basic level what Lark does and to concisely outline a few key points in its history, but if you and others believe the language was still too promotional, I will trust your judgment. But at least give me a chance to salvage the article by rewriting it in a neutral point of view.

A final note: Every paragraph in the draft was referenced, and not one reference was to a company website or to a press release. All six sources cited were reliable sources (to the best of my understanding) and five of the six sources cited represented significant coverage of the software, not passing mentions. I have also followed Wikipedia's paid editing guidelines by disclosing my conflict of interest in the appropriate places and by submitting a draft through AfC. Please allow the Wikipedia community to evaluate Lark's notability, and give me the time and constructive criticism to bring the text up to Wikipedia's standards. Thank you, JatBD (talk) 13:27, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

How do I go about becoming a new page reviewer?

I created a couple of articles recently as you may remember however they're all taking extremely long to be reviewed due to the massive backlog. I'm sure you're not allowed to review your own articles but I felt that if I could help reduce the backlog it would help the community as a whole. I seem to meet 500 mainspace edit criteria but I'm not sure about the other criteria there. Could you help me out here? Debitpixie 💬 14:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
